Episode 2 – Brooklyn Brewery – Post Road

Episode 2 of Drew’s Brews Reviews is here! The beer review show you never knew you wanted and no one needs.

Tis the season for spiced amber pumpkin beers for only a few more days, so get ’em while you can.

Episode 1 – Stone/10 Barrel/Blue Jacket – Suede

Episode 1 of Drew’s Brews Reviews is here! The beer review show you never knew you wanted and no one needs. I try the October 2013 released imperial porter, Suede, from Stone and friends. Still ironing out the show flow and this is a little chopped up, but it’s all about the quick. I’ll try to be more succinct and informative in the future.

Starr Hill – Little Red Roostar (Coffee Creme Stout) Review

photo 2All You Need to Know

Brewery: Starr Hill Brewery
Style: Milk Stout
ABV: 5.8%
Cost: $8.78 (22 oz)
Glassware: Pint, Snifter
Temp: 50°F-55°F
Availability: Limited Release
Purchased @: Shenandoah Hops

Quick Take: Very solid coffee beer that is let down by the thin mouth feel. If you are looking for a near sessionable stout that has some of the best coffee flavor I have had in a beer for a very reasonable price, this is it. It should be noted that I am a coffee lay person with little to no coffee swigging experience.

Allagash – Tiarna Review

photo 1All You Need to Know

Brewery: Allagash Brewing Company
Style: American Wild Ale
ABV: 7.1%
Cost: $15 (12.7 oz)
Glassware: Tulip
Temp: 50°F-55°F
Availability: Brewed Once
Purchased @: Allagash Brewery

Quick Take: This is a balanced wild yeast ale that doesn’t excel in any particular area, but is a tasty sum of its parts. Tiarna is a worthy beer that is priced a little high for what you get (beer/size). Definitely worth a try if you like Allagash wild beers that keep the must/funk to a minimum and you don’t mind paying for the privilege.
